Refrigerator pickles don't need canning or special containers. Save some work.

And no, you don't need an air bubble tool, a spatula handle works great.

If you're determined to can them, a regular stock pot will do. It has to be large enough that the jars are submerged. I have never used a rack but a jar lifter is a pretty useful tool as is a jar sized funnel to keep the threads clean.

Skip making pickles and clean your room.

Probably a better plan but some of these are on the verge of going bad and the recipe I found is really fast I think, like under an hour, but idk. I might have time to do both ha

Also I’m not sure how you knew it still wasn’t finished yet but that is seriously impressive

I don't want you to spend 3 hours making a shitload of pickles that you may not even like.
Make one small jar/batch.

Then next time, if there is a next time, you will know that you won't be wasting time.

Wow there really is no sneaking anything past mothers, huh?

Apparently this even applies to mothers who are aren’t your own and are almost 2000 miles away through a computer screen

Impressive indeed.

Hmm... that’s a good point. This is supposed to be a good recipe, direct from the Ball people and good reviews, and I am addicted to the kind I want to make, but you have a good point there...

Maybe I won’t even make pickles. Idk. I might give some to the chickens and make a salad with the others or put them on my sandwiches haha

Btw, I think I’ve figured out why I’ve felt like crap the past few days. Probably cause I’ve been eating like crap

Bought some questionable foods last night... nothing packaged but not exactly healthy either... Lunch meat, bread, muffins, sauces

I should probably go back to my usual eggs and vegetables or chicken and vegetables or whatever healthy stuff I was making.

I just got hungry late night and went a little crazy
